This first book was originally in my Grandmother's book collection - she wrote her name in her distinctive cursive on the back cover along with her address in Haysville. When mom acquired it, she put one of her address stickers you get from various charities during donation season on the inside front cover, as she did with all of her books. Mom went on to collect a lot more of her books, so the Log Cabin book must have impressed her.
